    Compress PDF Files — Preserve Text or Rasterize Pages

    Choose a text-preserving structural optimization or a smaller raster-image representation of the entire document. Image mode can delete selectable text, annotations, forms and digital signatures; the result is compared to the original and the original is retained when there is no byte reduction.

    Preserve-text mode may not reduce size. Image-pages mode rasterizes EVERY page, removing selectable text, forms and signatures; use only on copies. Max 25 MiB, 50 pages preserving text or 20 pages raster. If bigger, original bytes are kept.
